	20 Gallon Tank
leongreenway Enthusiast Posts: 205 Kudos: 199 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Feb-2005	Hi, can anyone advise me on what sort of Cichlids I could put in a 20Gallon tank. Any combination would do. I would ideally like 2-3 6inch fish or 3 to 4 3-4inch fish. The dimensions of my tank are 24 inches long 16 inches high 13 inches wide

I'd try for 2 fish that will grow no more than 4" unless you plan to upgrade later on. I think a pair of Honduran Red Points or nanoluteus would work. the male HRP may get closer to 5" but I think a pair of one or the other would be fine.
